Albacore 280 IB

Inboard powered fishing and leisure boat

The Albacore 280 combines superior construction and great practicality with economical operation.


  • Created for fun, fishing and pure family boating pleasure, the Albacore 280 is a well designed, mid-sized sport fishing and leisure boat with added comforts and tailor made accessories incorporated into a clean, well organized layout.
  • The Albacore 280's superior performance and aesthetic design makes it the ideal sports and leisure craft with plenty of room for the kids and all their water sporting equipment.
  • The hull of the Albacore 280 is fully molded glass reinforced polyester which incorporates a double-skin, foam filled construction and individual buoyancy tanks. These, along with a self draining deck, support the unsinkable construction of the craft.
  • The center console walk around concept of the Albacore 280 enables free movement all around. When fishing, the angler can move unhindered from back to front and the two-foot internal freeboard gives the angler confidence to support his legs when fighting or landing a fish.
  • There is enough width along the sides of the boat for the angler to sit comfortably all day. The deck space of the Albacore 280 is uncluttered and is surfaced with a non-slip texture for added safety. The forward dining table can be lowered giving extra room for sun bathing and the space above the engine compartment serves as a comfortable sun bathing platform as well.
